Rise in Demand for Large Truck Mounted Platforms

Date:

Tuesday, February 19, 2013

Larger truck mounted platforms and trailer mounted lifts have enjoyed a rise in demand during the last few years, especially those that offer working heights over 50m. These larger machines are becoming more of an everyday platform rather than an occasional use machine, as new product developments increase sales volume across the globe.Trailer mounted platforms provide safety, efficiency and speed, and are becoming the preferred method of carrying out work at height. This type of AWP was, in fact, the first type of powered access machine to be made available in the 1920s, and are still preferred by some industries over self-propelled machines. Most rental contracts for large truck mounted platforms are for short term use, and the types of industries that regularly use this type of aerial lift include:

* utility companies

* fire departments

* maintenance and repair contractors

* high rise building inspectors

* local authorities (for lighting or maintenance use)

* tree surgery

* wind farms

* television coverage companies

* cleaning contractors

The trailer mounted platform offers a huge range of options for powered access use, and their performance and versatility has improved substantially over the last few decades. Increased outreach and working heights can be combined with compact dimensions and four-wheel drive vehicles in order to allow these platforms to perform excellently in all sorts of environments.
